We were discussing the other night how that the Violent Femmes have been rediscovered by yet another generation. Someone, I think it was Led, said that they overheard some kid saying that the Femmes were one of the best bands of the ninties. I winced at that & we all tried to figure out "just when the hell did they start?"
Well here is the answer, Led & I added it up & guessed right...
Violent Femmes - Biography: "Violent Femmes: Decades of Disorganized Music
Violent Femmes were founded in 1980 by bassist/multi-instrumentalist Brian Ritchie and drummer Victor De Lorenzo. The name is a contradiction in terms, 'Violent' being self-explanatory and 'Femmes' being Milwaukee slang for wimp."
Blessed Be all, Dr. Strangelove
